縱觀1-4月考題，我發(fā)現(xiàn)官方爸爸最近好像愛上了帶轉(zhuǎn)折意味的話題，例如前兩天發(fā)的《喜歡拜訪但不想住的家》以及這次的《不喜歡但又經(jīng)常要有的短途旅行》。

　　Describe a short trip you often take but don’t like

　　You should say:

　　Where you go

　　When you go there

　　Why you go there

　　And explain why you don’t like the trip

　　我不知道是不是官方爸爸變壞了，它就想要通過這種拉長定語的方式來增加話題的難度，還是說拐彎抹角的講話方式會來的更加有趣。不管是何原因，官方爸爸還是贏了，因?yàn)橹辽僭谖业暮笈_我看到了一眾索要《不喜歡的短途旅行》答案的同學(xué)。

　　但是在給答案之前，我還是想要先對整篇話題進(jìn)行講解，我希望你可以看完分析后可以組織完成屬于自己的回答。

　　和之前的所有推送一樣，拿到題我們需要先找到話題的核心關(guān)鍵詞，因?yàn)橹挥忻鞔_關(guān)鍵詞，才可以在前期思考維度時(shí)不被定語部分的內(nèi)容過多影響。從標(biāo)題來看，整道題的核心探討點(diǎn)都是從“Trip”這個(gè)關(guān)鍵詞出發(fā)的，又因?yàn)椤皌rip”等同于“activity”，所以我們可以直接參照“activity”的維度來分析整道題。

　　Activity 維度拆分：

　　5w2h (when/where/who/what/why/how much/ how often)

　　organizer/ history/ popularity/ cost/ origin/ regulations/ requirement/ duration/ equipment/ benefits etc.

　　結(jié)合以上維度，我們將開啟整道題的分析。

　　01

　　Where you go

　　在《喜歡拜訪但不想住的家》的話題解析里，我要提過有關(guān)“Where”類型問題的拓展格式：

　　Step one：絕對位置 （位于東南西北中具體哪個(gè)方位）

　　Step two:   相對位置 （距離你家或者某一個(gè)地標(biāo)建筑的遠(yuǎn)近）

　　Step three:  怎么過去（交通+路上花費(fèi)時(shí)間）

　　那么在這道題里我們依舊可以原封不動的搬運(yùn)，只是“相對位置”這一塊就不能拉的太遠(yuǎn)，離你家?guī)资昼娀蛘?、3小時(shí)走路/開車距離都是可以的。至于你去的地方，它可以是一個(gè)城市，比如：杭州到上海；它可以是一個(gè)公共場所，比如：你家到某寺廟；它也可以是去一個(gè)住宅，比如：你家到你朋友家。

　　如果你想要讓第一問的回答更豐滿一點(diǎn)的話，除了“l(fā)ocation”相關(guān)的信息外，你還可以補(bǔ)充和城市、公共場所或者住宅相關(guān)的維度。

　　Example one：

　　I always have to do a short trip to a small town which is in the east of Jiaxin. It is not really far from my city and only takes about an hour to get there by car. In fact, the town is a bit old and shabby 破舊的.

　　Because of this,  more and more people have moved out of the town and have settled in big cities, with the exception of old people, like my grandparents.

　　Example two：

　　I go to a temple in my city every week. It is called Linyin temple, in the west of my city, not far from my new home, just a 30-min drive away.

　　The temple enjoys a long history and it is packed out 擁擠 during the weekends and holidays. People like to go there to pray for good luck 祈禱好運(yùn).

　　Example three：

I always go to my uncle’s home. He used to live in a remote area but last year he settled in my district. His home is just several blocks away from me and only takes about 20 mins for me to get there on foot.

　　Actually, it was built about 40 years ago, but as it is close to amenities 便利設(shè)施, life there is very convenient.

　　02

　　When you go there

　　一般而言，看到此文我們都會直截了當(dāng)?shù)慕o出答案，比如：每周去一次或者只要有空就去。這樣的回答并不是說不可以，但從part 2的時(shí)間要求來看，過于簡單的回答就無法幫你消耗更多的時(shí)間。

　　鑒于此問題，我們需要給出的是一個(gè)固定時(shí)間點(diǎn)。為此，我們可以有以下幾種思考方向：

　　按主次拆分

　　我們可以將去的時(shí)間進(jìn)行分類，從而總結(jié)出“你大多數(shù)情況下會在什么時(shí)候去，偶爾會什么時(shí)候去”。畢竟很多時(shí)候我們無法真實(shí)做到每次去的時(shí)間點(diǎn)都一樣。

　　Example ：

　　Actually most of the time, I visit my uncle’s home after dinner. My mum and I take a walk and then drop in to say hello 順便拜訪. Sometimes, I go there during special festivals, like the spring festival and mid-autumn festival.

　　As they are important days for Chinese families, we have a big family feast 家庭盛宴 together with our other relatives.

　　按時(shí)間線拆分

　　我們也可以按時(shí)間線的變化來闡述去的頻率。可能剛開始頻率高，后來頻率低；或者相反。

　　Example ：

　　In fact, in the past, we never got the chance to go because we were always so busy with work and study but nowadays we have been going back every month, sometimes once or twice during the month.

　　 按 “How you know (about)”的結(jié)構(gòu)進(jìn)行拓展

　　“How you know (about)”問題的答題結(jié)構(gòu)為：【認(rèn)知過程-目前結(jié)果】。那么“when you go there”這類需要給出固定時(shí)間點(diǎn)或者頻率的回答也可以按此結(jié)構(gòu)進(jìn)行作答，畢竟沒有第一次不會產(chǎn)生頻率。

　　Example ：

　　I clearly remember the first time I visited the temple was about 2 years ago. My mum took me there one early morning. It was such a tiring journey and I didn’t feel very good.

　　However, after that day, my mum forced me to go there with her every week. Against my will, now I visit the temple every Sunday morning without fail 絕無例外.

　　03

　　Why you go there

　　此小問的答題結(jié)構(gòu)就比較簡單，“提出觀點(diǎn)，給出理由，或者加以舉例進(jìn)行論證”。至于觀點(diǎn)，它可能并不一定和出行的目的有關(guān)系，它可能有其他原因，比如：我媽媽覺得一個(gè)人的旅行太孤獨(dú)，所以想找個(gè)人陪伴；兩人通行門票減半等。如果你想要讓自己的回答變得不一樣一些，你就可以考慮后一種的回答。

　　Example one：

　　The reason why I visit my grandparents’ town is to keep them company 陪伴某人 so they don't feel alone. In the past, when there were still lots of people living in the town, my grandparents didn’t feel lonely and they always had various kinds of activities to entertain themselves. But now everything has changed.

Most of their old friends have passed away and there aren’t many kids playing around so they feel depressed and bored.  My parents and I go to visit them to cheer them up and give them something to do.

　　Example two：

Actually, I don't really like visiting my uncle’s home, but my mum always asks me to go there with her. I didn't understand at first why she wanted me to go but she told me that she feels a bit scared walking alone at night.

　　I was quite surprised as we live in a good area but I am happy to go with her and make her feel safe.

　　04

　　Why you don’t like the trip

　　至于你不喜歡的原因，我們可以五花八門，總之和“activity”相關(guān)的維度都可以拿來用來思考這一問。

　　When 時(shí)間點(diǎn)

　　你不喜歡這個(gè)旅行的原因可能和“出發(fā)的時(shí)間點(diǎn)”有關(guān)系，比如：總是在一大早或者大晚上的時(shí)候出發(fā)。

　　Example ：

Even though I enjoy the beautiful scenery in the temple, I don’t like doing the trip as we have to set off in the early morning. I don’t really understand why my mum always asks me to get up at the crack of dawn 早起. As a night owl 夜貓子, it is a nightmare for me. I try to go to sleep early but I can never manage it.

　　Because of this, I feel really sleepy on the way. And to make things worse, when we arrive at the temple, we have to climb so many stairs. I don’t think anyone would like to do this trip regularly.

　　Where 地點(diǎn)

　　你不喜歡這個(gè)旅行的原因可能和“地點(diǎn)”有關(guān)系，比如：這個(gè)人的家不是很好；這個(gè)小鎮(zhèn)可能沒有網(wǎng)；或者這個(gè)廟里有很多蚊子或者蛇。

　　Example ：

　　I love visiting my grandparents, but I don’t like that they live in such a small town. There are no leisure facilities and the internet is not stable or reliable.

Every time I go there, I always feel bored. I can’t go shopping or play any video games on my phone, so most of the time, I just lay on the bed or watch my grandpa gardening. It is like watching paint dry 十分無聊.

　　Regulations 規(guī)定

　　你不喜歡這個(gè)旅行的原因可能和“規(guī)定”有關(guān)系，比如：去寺廟的那天要全天吃素。

　　Example ：

　　Even though my mum thinks going to the temple will bring me good luck, I still don’t like to visit it, because every time I go to the temple, I can only eat vegetables for the whole day.

　　The rule isn’t made by the temple but my mum. She thinks it shows my commitment 承諾 to the Buddhas which makes no sense to me. As a meat lover, can you imagine how hard the day is? That’s why I am always reluctant to 不情愿的 go there.

　　Who 人

　　你不喜歡這個(gè)旅行的原因可能和“人”有關(guān)系，這個(gè)人可以指同行的人，也可以指你到目的地后會見到的人。

　　Example ：

　　I don’t like visiting my uncle’s home just because I don’t really like my aunty, a very mean 刻薄的 middle-aged woman. Her family is a bit wealthier than us, so she looks down on us all the time.

At the same time, she likes to show off the recently purchased luxury goods or all the expensive skincare products she is using. I feel really uncomfortable around her and try and keep the visits to a minimum.

　　看完四小問的拆分，你有想好自己要說啥了不？

　　參考答案：【不喜歡的短途旅行】

　　Where you go

　　I go to a temple in my city every week. It is called Linyin temple, in the west of my city, not far from my new home, just a 30-min drive away. The temple enjoys a long history and it is packed out during the weekends and holidays. People like to go there to pray for good luck.

　　When you go there

I clearly remember the first time I visited the temple was about 2 years ago. My mum took me there one early morning. It was such a tiring journey and I didn’t feel very good. However, after that day, my mum has forced me to go there with her every week. Now I visit the temple every Sunday without fail.

　　Why you go there

Actually, my mum tells me to go there because she believes preying to the Buddhas will bring me good fortune in my studies.  She says that many people come to do it and it has helped. For me, I think it is a bit superstitious.

　　And explain why you don't like that trip

There are several reasons why I don’t like the trip. The main reason is that we have to set off at the crack of dawn. As a night owl, it is a nightmare for me. I try to go to sleep early but I can never manage it. Because of this, I feel really sleepy on the way. And to make things worse, when we arrive at the temple, we have to climb so many stairs. I don’t think anyone would like to do this trip regularly.
